The Apple AirPods Pro 3 Have *So* Many Cool New Features (and You Can Pre-Order Them Right Now)

While plenty of reviewers already rave over the high quality of the Apple AirPods Pro noise-canceling technology, the brand notes that this latest update should remove up to two times more noise than the last version. These new earbuds will also offer a new acoustic architecture that increases the quality of the bass and provides more clarity in instrumental and vocal sounds. Not to mention, you can expect to get a couple extra hours of listening time before having to recharge them.

Maybe one of the most exciting new features is that the earbuds can actually perform live translation and aid in communication across languages using Apple Intelligence. (Yeah, you're gonna want to put these on your shopping list before your next Euro trip.)

As for health features, there's a ton to be impressed with. One of the best new features for the AirPods Pro 3 is the ability to track your heart rate and calories burned during up to 50 different workouts (yep, just from your ears). There's also a custom sound signature that adapts to your ear's geometry to get the best fit. And while you'll still get the hearing test that came with the Apple AirPods Pro 2, these new ones will also include a hearing aid feature with Conversation Boost and active hearing protection, according to the brand.

So needless to say, if you've been thinking of upgrading your wireless earbuds (whether for work, play, travel, fitness or, let's be honest, all of the above), the upcoming Apple AirPods 3 are well worth the buy. They officially release on Sept. 19, but you can get pre-orders in now if you want to try them ASAP. Happy listening!
